so it's important to understand how GPG calculates User ID validity
for a key.
-The basic question asked is: For a given User ID on a specific key,
-given some set of valid certifications (signatures), and some explicit
-statements about whose certifications you think are trustworthy
-(ownertrust), should we consider this User ID to be legitimately
-attached to this key (a "valid" User ID)?

It's worth noting that there are two integral parts in this
calculation:
If you trust my judgement in this area ([the
spec](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4880#section-5.2.3.13) calls my
-role in this scenario a "meta introducer"), then you should be able to
+role in this scenario a "!meta introducer"), then you should be able to
automatically accept certifications made by my sister by creating a
level 2 trust signature on my key. You can choose whether to publish
this trust signature or not, but as long as your `gpg` instance knows
